Fractions always a topic where visuals can help.
However need children to decide the questions. E.g “What if we had …….. "
Polypad is great for working with children rather than asking them to watch a 'fixed’ PPT animation.
Love Polypad.

To get a reason for all of the 4 sections on the WODB grid you sometimes have to think ‘outside of the box’
Do you have other solutions for this grid?

Considering difficulty of some generated questions.
E.g.
A only shape with both dimensions even numbers
B Perimeter value< area value
C Shape with least difference between dimensions
D Only shape with a dimension of 1
What other reasons can you see?

PISA outcomes identify relative weakness in Visualisation, Shape and Space, Geometry for our 15 year olds. This weakness can also be seen in KS2 SATs outcomes nationally.
Maybe we should be reviewing Geometry in the curriculum and the PD provided to teachers.

Quote from a Primary TA illustrates what is being lost in transition to KS3 where there is a lack of manipulatives available for children to use. Children’s confidence & enjoyment of maths declines, as seen in the recent research

Primary - lots
Secondary - almost none & hardly ever used
Knowledge of when & how to use is key factor.
Limits progression KS2-KS3 & security of understanding for many
